Bottom side control sucks, a lot.
As my partners get better I keep finding it harder and harder to get out.
I have seen lots of videos of different ways to recover half guard, or to reverse the opponent, or the classic bridge/push/shrimp, but nothing has clicked so far.
But most of the time I fail miserably on the escapes I have seen. I found something that works for me, and it is the Marcelo Garcia Elbow Push (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDVO9kXu5Lc), I have gotten to the point that I can execute well on it, but I want to have more tools.
What side control escape do you consider high percentage?
I find the bridge/push/shrimp hard to execute, but I am aware that I psychologically kind of gave up on the escape as I could barely ever get it to work and I need to revisit it.
Any pointers?
